The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions far back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a collection of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel wonderful. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient cooks used many spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, mint and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including basil and coriander. These new foods and tastes led to an eruption in recipe publications, many of which still exist in academic collections. During the following few centuries, the powerful and wealthy competed to lay on the most exotic meals, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. However, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and recording the recipes of their peers. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
